There are large and small items in the bathroom that need to be neatly stored. At this moment, a cabinet is indispensable. Therefore, the bathroom cabinet has become one of the must-have furniture in everyone’s bathroom. There are all kinds of bathroom cabinets on the market, how should you choose them?
The decoration of the bathroom is also very important, so every process of the bathroom needs to be paid special attention. Every house is different, so the decoration of each bathroom is also different, but the infrastructure of each house is basically the same. Today we talk about how to buy a small bathroom cabinet in the bathroom.
First, Understand the material
The high-end bathroom cabinets are mainly made of solid wood, PVC and MDF.
The most unsuitable is the density board, because the density board is pressed from wood scraps, the moisture resistance is weak, and it is easy to mold, deform and peel in the humid air for a long time.
Followed by PVC sheet, the water resistance is undeniable, because PVC sheet has a lot of plastic components, its environmental protection and high temperature resistance (heating) ability is greatly reduced.
Solid wood as the base material depends on the surface treatment process of the wood. Since wood is a natural material, there is no need to say more about environmental protection. The surface has a wood lacquer surface to resist the invasion of temperature, humidity and ultraviolet rays, ensuring that the substrate is used in the bathroom for a long time without cracking and deformation.
To sum up, the cabinet material is basically the most suitable solid wood. Since the price of solid wood panels is slightly expensive, the price of solid wood cabinets on the market is higher than other panels. However, considering the difference in durability, I recommend that you choose solid wood as the main material of the bathroom cabinet.
Bathroom countertops are generally made of marble, artificial stone (pressed particles), glass, ceramics, etc.
There are various marble patterns and varieties. High-end decoration is inseparable from the foil of marble, and of course the price is not low. Disadvantages: high water absorption, and prone to cracks, the biggest disadvantage is the single shape (because it is easy to break).
Artificial stone countertops overcome all the shortcomings of marble. There are many kinds of flower samples, and the price is very suitable. Disadvantages: Due to the large amount of compressed granular materials (plastic components), the hardness is slightly worse (easy to be scratched), and long-term high temperature is easy to cause deformation.
The hardness of the tempered glass is unbreakable even if you want to drop it, and the waterproof ability is unparalleled. There are also many shortcomings: due to the variety of glass production processes, the style of the basin is single, and the shortcomings of hanging scale are very clear to everyone.
Ceramic culture has a long history in China, and the ceramic processing technology is world-class. I don’t need to introduce it in terms of style, waterproof, scratch resistance and most importantly, anti-fouling ability. Everyone knows very well how the surface glaze of high-temperature ceramics is used. We work. Disadvantages: I have been using it for more than ten years, and I am tired of watching it! !
To sum up, the most important thing to pay attention to is the anti-fouling ability of the countertop material. Generally, a high-temperature ceramic basin is used as the countertop, which is easy to match and easy to wash. Therefore, the countertop should be ceramics first, followed by artificial stone countertops (pressed particles).
Second, choose the external form of the bathroom cabinet that suits you
1. Independent: The independent bathroom cabinet is suitable for single owners and rental apartments. It is simple in style, small in area, easy to maintain, and has all functions of storage, washing and lighting.
2. Double type: The double bathroom cabinet is the best choice for a two-person combination with a large bathroom. It can avoid the situation where two people are in a hurry in the morning because they are waiting to use a washbasin. lifestyle habits to place items.
3. Combined type: The combined bathroom cabinet has strong functionality and clear classification. It has open shelves, drawers and flat doors. The shapes and specifications are also different, which can be used according to the frequency of the items. and quantity to choose different combination forms and placement positions.
Commonly used items such as towels and bath soap can be placed in the open shelves for easy access, various cleaning products that are not commonly used can be placed in the lower cabinet, and more commonly used fragile items should be placed in the glass cabinet door , both safe and easy to find.
Third, Look in the mirror
Check whether the mirror is lead-free and copper-free silver mirror and whether there are air bubbles on the surface. Lead-free and copper-free silver mirror mirror image cleaning is realistic, reflected light is soft and natural, corrosion resistance, strong oxidation resistance, salt spray resistance test ability is 3 times that of traditional mirrors.
Fourth, look at the hardware
Don’t think that the bathroom cabinet only needs to pay attention to the material, and the hardware also needs to be paid attention to, because the unqualified quality of the hardware will seriously affect the use, after all, the hardware is the link connecting the cabinet. Although these hardware are accessories, it should be noted that the quality of the parts is not good, and the whole can not be used.
Five, pay attention to color
The colors of bathroom cabinets are various, and the overall design of the bathroom should be consistent with the overall design of the bathroom when purchasing. Generally, light color is the main color, which can make the bathroom look neat and elegant, and it is also easy to match with a variety of bathrooms with different designs. The dark bathroom cabinet is more resistant to dirt, and if there is some small wear on the surface, it will not appear too obvious. In addition, the choice of translucent mirror texture color can make the bathroom look clear and cool.
After learning the five purchase strategies of bathroom cabinets, you will understand that the choice of bathroom cabinets is not difficult.
